The present invention relates to produce NO containing urea compositions by particlex32 solution (diesel exhaust fluid of reducing agent AUS
(disel exhaust fluid)) method, its purposes in diesel-engine road vehicle and can obtain by means of the present invention
NOx32 solution of reducing agent AUS (diesel exhaust fluid).
It is known in the state of the art a variety of for producing method of the particle containing urea compositions.In the past, urea particle, which is generally as follows, to be come
Production: by means of spray crystallization, by ambient temperature will substantially anhydrous urea melt (water content be 0.1 weight % extremely
0.3 weight %) it is sprayed onto ascending air stream from the top of spray crystallization tower, and solidify drop to obtain crystal (particle).
Thus obtained particle has relatively small diameter and low mechanical strength.
Currently, the urea particle with greater particle size and preferable mechanical property usually passes through in a fluidized bed to substantially anhydrous
Urea melt or aqueous urea solution pelletize to produce, such as such as US 4, described in 219,589.In these pelletizations
In, it with average diameter is 20 μm to 120 μm very thin by aqueous urea solution that urea concentration is 70 weight % to 99.9 weight %
The form of the drop of dispersion is introduced into the fluidized bed of urea particle, and temperature is selected to make the water in the solution being sprayed on urea particle
It evaporates and is deposited on urea on particle, obtain the bulk material of the expectation particle size with 2.5mm or bigger.
Due to obtaining relatively great amount of fine dust in the method, especially when the water content of used urea solution is big
When 5 weight %, so the granule additive formed usually using this dust is reduced.The effect for adding these additives is grain
Shape particle and especially its surface keeps plasticity, so that being obtained due to its rolling movement and collision has smooth surface and good
The circular granular of mechanical stability.Therefore, thus obtained bulk material have high compression strength and impact resistance, it is low because
The tendency of dust is worn and formed, and furthermore there was only low caking tendency during long term storage.However, hair
Now corresponding granule additive is applied not only to fluidized bed granulation, but also is used for other methods, such as spray crystallization or rotary drum system
Grain.
Used granule additive is usually the water-soluble addition object and/or condensation product of formaldehyde or formaldehyde and urea,
But these must be added with relatively large amount, and due to its toxicity characteristic and in terms of processing not no problem.Formaldehyde leakage pair
Health and environment constitute serious risk, although introduce urea-formaldehyde prepolymer (such as UF80 or UF85) reduced it is such
Risk.In addition, according to IARC (international cancer research institution of a part as WHO, International Agency
For Research on Cancer) " carcinogen " classification, asked to the relevant health risk of formaldehyde vapors is exposed to for a long time
Topic also occurs, even if this can not be avoided completely by using such prepolymer.
Another problem in the granulation of urea is to form dust, and the dust is understood to imply diameter less than 0.5mm's
Particle.Dust is formed substantially due to three sources.First it should be mentioned that due to for example in a fluidized bed between particle
Movement and collision and caused by bulk material abrasion, wherein the amount of dust obtained is substantially dependent on the machine of bulk material
Tool characteristic.In addition, nozzle respectively generates the drop with certain diameter distribution, in this case, most thin drop is in its chance
Solidify before to urea particle, therefore the dust being consequently formed leaves granulator together with exhaust gas again.Finally, it should be mentioned that third
Source is the dust obtained by crushing excessive granular solid matter, is led in method and apparatus according to prior art (plant)
It is often transferred directly and returns in granulator.10 weight % to 20 weight % through pulverized particles have the diameter less than 1mm, and
Its high proportion is dust.Therefore, in final products per ton 1% to 1.5% dust returning through pulverized particles by the ratio
To granulator, and the 3% to 5% of total dust of the final products per ton from industrial equipment is attributed to granulator.
In order to avoid or reduce disadvantages mentioned above, have studied formaldehyde different substitutes and its water-soluble addition and/or
Condensation product, but every kind of substitute is also restrained or the influence of disadvantage.
As an example, using alkali metal lignosulfonates described in 766,302 with reference to such as US 5, or use second two
Aldehyde or carbohydrate.However, according to production method, these lead to faint yellow or brown in urea product obtained, this
It is in many cases (such as in the production of melamine) undesirable.On the other hand, (such as poly- using surface reactive material
The mixture of vinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol) it is used as granule additive to also result in problem, the reason is that these have blistering
Tendency, for example, when additive and melt mixed or in the washers when, wherein processed urea dust dissolves and damages washer
Efficiency.These substances formed foam tendency also final products are had an impact, final products have lower density and
It is not acceptable to the market.Therefore, generally speaking, the formation of foam tendency on the industrial application of urea granula is unacceptable.
In view of in relation to the nitrogen oxides (NO from diesel-engine road vehicleX) discharge tightened up environmental legislation, use work
The urea solution of industry grade purity becomes more and more important.Here urea solution is introduced into exhaust, and at selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
In the conversion of nitrogen oxides that be present in exhaust be nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O).Urea in injection exhaust is thermal decomposited ammonification
(NH3).Thus the ammonia discharged reduces the nitrogen oxides being present in exhaust.The urea solution of the technical grade purity is (also referred to as
Diesel exhaust fluid, AUS 32 (aqueous urea solution) or) composition it is very accurate according to ISO 22241
Ground regulation.The urea solution of technical grade purity includes the urea of 32.5 weight %.The list of qualitative characteristics and impurity can also see DIN
7007:2005-08.The limit of the standard special provision aldehyde is 5mg/kg.
Due to the strict regulations in relation to urea purity, it is impossible to use any desired urea source.It therefore, in general, will preparation
In the urea that directly obtains mixed and transported to place to use with determining concentration with softened water (distilled water).In this way, it removes
Except urea, up to 2/3 water is also transported.In addition, these aqueous solutions can not be transported and be stored for a long time as needed;On the contrary,
Biological decomposition may occur.Alternative solution (that is, granular urea is transported to place to use) is typically due to present in bulk material
Aldehyde and fail, which hinders be used as NOx32 solution of reducing agent AUS.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide contain urea compositions and aquatic production NO by particlexReducing agent AUS 32 is molten

In an embodiment for producing particulate composition, the method includes the steps (C):
(C) three kinds of fractions are divided into after producing particle urea compositions, wherein
A kind of fraction (F1) includes the particle with expectation target size,
A kind of fraction (F2) is greater than the particle of expectation target size comprising size, and
A kind of fraction (F3) is less than the particle of expectation target size comprising size, and
Wherein it is preferred to which fraction F2 is recycled back into this method after particle crushing, and fraction F3 is followed again
It is looped back in this method.
For producing urea and for being further processed in the equipment to generate particulate composition, usually also obtain
Ammonia.This can be converted to corresponding ammonium salt by washing operation with suitable sour (such as nitric acid or sulfuric acid), for example, ammonium nitrate or
Ammonium sulfate, and these can be conveyed to further use, such as be used in fertilizer.Appropriate method and step for pickling
